      The exploits of a hapless cat for whom nine lives are not nearly enough

      In the long history of mankind''s relationship with felines, one cat stands head and shoulders below the rest. Highly inflammable, the glass-jawed Birmingham lurches from one catastrophe to the next. Through encounters with washing machine spin cycles to his lovelorn pursuit of the aggressively uninterested Sammy, Chris Pascoe''s hilarious book paints an intimate portrait of the author''s calamitous relationship with a cat wholly unsuited to being feline.



      Persistently molested by an irate sparrow, physically incapable of negotiating the intricacies of the cat-flap and with a near-fatal appreciation of the effects of gravity, Brum nevertheless remains steadfast in his subconscious pursuit of oblivion.



      Worryingly, these stories are true. Will nine lives be enough?
